About Judith

Judith Gordon is a Florida LMHC with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting, career questions, and coping with life changes. She also offers coaching for practical goals.

Judith keeps sessions straightforward. She listens first, then helps people identify patterns that keep problems repeating. Conversations include clear steps clients can try between meetings. The aim is to reduce reactive behavior and increase choices when strong feelings arise.

Her work draws on approaches that focus on the person's own goals and strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and change them into more useful actions. Solution-Focused techniques help set short-term, concrete goals to make everyday life easier.

Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck about change, especially with addictions or lifestyle shifts. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe painful stories about themselves so resentment and anger have less hold. These methods are mixed to fit the issue at hand.

Clients can expect practical tools for handling anger and stress, plus conversations about values and priorities. Judith explains options plainly and helps people choose what to try next. She asks clients to complete small experiments between sessions and reviews what worked in the next meeting.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Judith commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing when working with anger and stress. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change how situations feel and unfold. Motivational Interviewing helps people weigh their reasons for change and build commitment, which can be useful for problems like substance use or sticking with new habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods to try first, based on goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. This is a shared process that can be adjusted as progress is tracked.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions fit into work breaks, reduce travel time, or make regular check-ins easier to maintain. Others prefer formats that allow shorter updates or audio-only conversations when video is not needed. Talk with her about which arrangement best fits everyday life and scheduling needs.
